how a transfer dump truck works

[commanderpeter12]

did he push it

[AnubisEvalyna]

He's a bit too rough driving against that trailer. =/

It's all a bit too expensive to be careless with.

[mannwhosoldtheworld]

@AnubisEvalyna Not sure if you drive trucks at all, but that wasn't very rough. The clutch is touchy in these when you are trying to put torque into it, in this case he was backing into the devices which line the truck to the trailer, so it looked rough, but really it wasn't bad. Same kind of reaction occurs when coupling a trailer if you don't drop the air suspension (most drivers dont).

@mannwhosoldtheworld

Yeah I'm a truck driver. I'm not sure how to say it in English.

It's like this one, but the trailer doesn't have a steering axle at the front.

Euhm, the 2 wheels of the trailer are in the middle. I'm sorry I don't know the english name for them.

But anyway, I didn't mean to say it was bad. I know it always looks a bit rough.

I'm just saying, I'm always a bit more carefull, do it a little slower.

But my trailer is probably more easy to attach. Peace man

@mannwhosoldtheworld

Ow wait sry, didn't watch the video this time, your not attaching the trailer at all. Forget what I said.

Didn't watch the video before I posted that.

[MiGhTyTrUcKs]

@dueltruck700 o ok thanks

[dueltruck700]

@MiGhTyTrUcKs noooo prob lol some trucks are hard to tell apart from each other kenworth will normaly have a grill that slopes upwards to meet at a point in the middle and peterbilts have a flatter rounded grill

[MiGhTyTrUcKs]

So the wheels are now at the job site and he went back to the pit with his empty dump boxes. How does he FILL them, and when he does,how is he supposed to get them back to the job site without the wheels?? I, too, don't understand the advantage shown in this video

[dieselphil59]

@westonboy282 watch Transfer dump trucks-b-box then maybe you will understand how it all works,doh!!!!

[pitbullbc]

Alot of job site's aren't big enough to maneuver a truck and trailer on and it's not cost effective to just run a the truck as a single so a transfer allows you to haul big loads and get into small spots. Hope thats helps..

[shorttaz69]

double the work....

[jjmorphis]

2 materials

[5trucker]

[300jacc]
